Nine years after Donald Trump’s surprise election, the 2016 ghosts come back to haunt the Obama heritage, relaunching the suspicions of sabotage from above. This time, it is no longer a marginal theory, but an official offensive. Tulsi Gabbard, ex-democrat converted to Trumpism and now Director of National Intelligence, said more than one hundred pages of explosive documents. She sees the evidence of a “Criminal conspiracy” Orchestrated by the Obama administration to discredit Trump.
Names reappear, familiar: John Brennan, ex-director of the CIA; James Clapper, former boss of national intelligence; James Comey, director of the FBI until 2017. The same who, at the end of 2016, validated a report accusing Russia of having supported Donald Trump. However, a few weeks earlier, several agencies estimated that Moscow had neither the will nor the ability to weigh on the ballot. This turnaround is feeding a suspicion today: what if this Russian interference story had been just a smoke screen?
Among the Conservatives, the hope of a judicial “stick return” against the old deep state swell
The hope of a judicial “stick return”
The final evidence is missing. But doubt is there. In Trumpian America, we have not forgotten the Steele file – an unconcetic report, commanded by Trump’s opponents, alleging sulphurous links between the billionaire and the Kremlin -, neither targeted leaks nor the countryside.
Among the conservatives, the hope of a judicial “stick return” against the old deep state swells. But to date, no charges have been announced. There is no guarantee that the irregularities raised will be enough to constitute a solid criminal file against officials of the Obama administration. In his memorandum, Gabbard, however, recommends the legal proceedings of these former officials for betrayal or conspiracy, evoking “Accablant evidence” contained, according to her, in these writings.
The Obama clan denounces a “Diversion”when the Epstein affair threatens to splash the elite. But for Trump, this late revelation only confirms what he has repeated for years: in 2016, it was not Russia that cheated. It’s Washington.
